OIL- CAN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 7,1911.

Application filed February 4, 193,0. SeriaI No. 542,110.

rendering the deviceteu porarily useless;

its construction is such that it may be properly termed a. cold weather oil can as very cold Weather will not so harden the oil as to stifle the'operation of the can; it further involves means whereby the greatest force may be given to the contents being dis charged from the spout; its coi'lstruction further involves the use of a can emgaloying a plunger that in its normal position. with the can inverted, permits the chamber 3 to fill withoil freely which oil may then, or subsequently, be very iorcihl 1 ejected there from through the spout a ter which the chamber will instantly refill and can again be emptied as before.

Another object is the construction of a can thatis very cheap to manufacture and that attains a maximum of efficiency.

With this and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and combination of parts to he hereinafter described in the following specification, ointed outin the claims and illustrated 1n the drawings, in which Figure 1 is a vertical cross section of the device; Fig. 2 is a similar view of a modification.

Like reference characters indicate correspoiiding parts throughout.

The numeral 2 is the reservoir which may he of any desired shape having a concavity 3 in its bottom.

Referring); to Fig 1 which is the preferred embodiment of my invention; 4 is an internal sleeve extending from the roof of the concave bottom upwardly to Within a short distance from the lower termination of chamber 1 which an enlargement of spout 5.

6 is the plunger arranged within sleeve 4 and extending out through the bottom of the can and terminating in a thumb piece 7 to which is'secured an external coil spring 8 encircling the plunger and having its oppo site extremity secured tothe outer surface of the concave hot-tom of the can. The upper end of the plunger terminates in a head tlheid normally against the upper termination of sleeve l by spring 8 thus affording easy access for the contents of the can to the chamber y and pressure exerted on thumb piece 7 will readily eject the oil therefrom through the spout with great force and when the pressure is removed the plunger will again assume its normal position and the chamber refill with oil In Fig. 2 internal sleeve 4 is enlarged to admit spring 8 secured at one end to thumb.

piece. 7 its opposite extremity being securedto the upper termination ,of sleeve 4 as shown. 10 is a plunger guide arranged in the upper portion of sleeve 4 and extending therebevond el'icircling the plunger and sulfroundcd Within the sleeve by spring 8. This arrangement is equally as efiicient as the one shown in Fig. 1 but is a trifle more expensive to manufacture.

Sufficientforce is given the contents thrown from my can to recommend its use as a stock syringe in washing out wounds in animals.

Having fully described .my invention, what I claim is- 1. In. an oi't can, an enlarged chamber in one end of the spout, an internal sleeve extending: up from the bottom oi the can, a. plunger extending through and beyond said sleeve, a head 9 on one end of said plunger "adapted to enter the aforesaid enlarged chamber and a spring arranged in the concave'bottom and secured to said plunger.

-2. In an oil can, an enlarged chamber in one end'of the spout {an internal'sleevc ex-w lending up 170111 the l')()ll,()lll 0f the can, a 1 lunger extending through and beyond said sleeve, a head 9 arranged on one end of said plunger immediately above the upper termination of said sleeve and a spring arranged in the concave bottom and secured to said plunger.

In testimony filial l claim UH furugoing as my own I have hereto afiixed my signature in the 'prosvnve of two subscribing witnesses.
